Perhaps the oldest tradition of them all, or at least the first one to properly define themselves as such, the Order of Hermes specializes in the sphere of Forces and were one of the most vital forces behind the creation of the Council in the past. Amongst the traditions they stand out for having the most organized structure of all of them, and their membership is grouped across several houses, each pracicing a different type of magic that falls within the paradigm of the tradition as a whole.
* {{Pride}}: This, along with the defection of House Tremere- now [[TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade Clan Tremere]]- was one of the main reasons that the early Technocracy was able to take convince the masses to their viewpoint and control the masses.
* SorcerousOverlord: What many of their members were during the dark ages, and some still are today.

A relatively young tradition, the Virtual Adepts are the newest addition to the council, and therefore the least trusted one. Originally one of the conventions of the Technocracy, the Virtual Adepts were initially known as the Difference Engineers, but as the years went by they became increasingly more discontent with the Technocracy's actions, and eventually defected to the traditions after the death of reknowned adept [[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy Alan Turing]] by the hands of Technocracy agents. Now a tradition, the Virtual Adepts took the seat of correspondence, and they are masters of information, the digital web and basically everything computer-related.
* BerserkButton: They ''hate'' the Technocracy with a passion even greater than the other traditions.
* {{Cyberpunk}}: They draw a lot of their fashion and personality from this. They even have a sub-faction called the Cyberpunks.

* InformationWantsToBeFree: One of their core beliefs.
* InsufferableGenius: While undoubtably smart and talented, they know it all too well and as such aren't above arrogance when it comes to showing it off.
* LonersAreFreaks: A lot of their members tend to be loners by nature and the tradition in itself is rather unorganized.

Some Traditions info added. Would really appreciate if somebody else helped me fill out some more info in more of the sections.
Added DiffLines:
A loose organization of mages, the Traditions are a collection of mages who embrace the mystical and magical side of the world and seek to open up the masses to a more fluid and dynamic view of the world. Each Tradition is represented within the organization through a seat of magic that represents a sphere of magic that their Tradition specializes in.
* FunctionalMagic: Each tradition haa their own different views on magic and trademark styles associated with them.
* MagicalSociety
* {{Masquerade}}: Not a personally enforced one, but more of a law of the universe itself through the cosensus and paradox. Tradition mages are usually the most affected by paradox effects and as such they typically don't use vulgar magic unless they absolutely need to.
* RomanticismVersusEnlightenment: Heavily romanticist in contrast to the Technocracy's enlightened viewpoint, though the Sons of Ether and Virtual Adepts help balance it out with some enlighenment as well.
* WeAREStrugglingTogether: One of the main reasons that the Traditions are not very successful against the Technocracy is because of the petty bickering and in-fighting between the various factions that they are made up from.

! The Technocracy
[[folder:Overall tropes]]
Drawing their origins back to the medieval ages, the Technocracy, then known as the Order of Reason, dedicated themselves to protect humanity from the various supernaturals that stalked mortals in the world, and embraced logic and science as a means to achieve their goals, crushing any and all traces of the supernatural and other mages, specificially the Order of Hermes. In modern nights, they control the masses with near absolute power, and work hard to preserve the status quo of humanity that has been achieved since their founding, for better or for worse, and are willing to eliminate anyone they see as a threat to their ideal world.
* HeroAntagonist: While the Technocracy certainly has their fair share of genuine villains out to crush imagination, a lot of them are just trying to protect humanity from things that are even worse.
* OrderVersusChaos: Solidly occupies the order side, as the vast majority of Technocrats leans toward Static avatar essences.
* ScienceHero: Depending on your views
* ScienceIsWrong: Well, shaped by the general views of the masses, [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve which is what the setting runs on]].
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: They created a world that's safe for [[{{Muggles}} normal humans]] by crushing out the imagination and creativity of the masses in favor of a more rational and scientific worldview.
